Although, how does the title of this thread not have the words "superaccount" or "superuser" in it?

I don't think we should focus too much on the whole "super account" concept. It could just be some little hacker program that intercepts the other players hole cards on their way out to the respective clients. Posibly within the program, before they're encrypted, or after on the network, if they've broken the encryption. That could also explain the lag when the cheater is moved to a new table.

Or maybe they've figured out a way to spoof the server into sending data a fake client, and somehow disabled the part that should detect multiple identical clients.

The point is, we don't really want to open up the door for them to come back and say something like "there is absolutely no such thing as a superuser account". There are other ways this could be happening.
